That doesn't go according to my line of reasoning at all. By your reasoning then every work group should be unionized...and why stop with the airlines? Do we really need a bolshevik revolution whereby every single work group has the power to shut the airline down and demand anything. Even low skilled work groups that have next to nothing invested in this "career"? I don't think that's good for us one bit.

But back to the FA rationale. When the day comes that FA groups are the front lines for scope for the entire company, all across the industry, then you would be correct...ours would then need a union. But they never will be because they don't have to be. They know we will always pay for it for them.
